An old flue from the priests chamber in the tower has a baffle stone outlet about 20 ft up. There is a good late Norman South door with spiral fluted shafts, decorated capitals and some zig-zag ornamentation in the arch. The South porch is Early Tudor, in red brick with a crow stepped gable with arched niches. The North Door is Norman, plain, with scalloped capitals to the shafts.
